STAMFORD — A 42-year-old Norwalk man accused of sexually assaulting two girls under the age of 12 would face at least 15 years in prison if he accepts a disposition agreement offered by the state in the case. As a part of the deal, Antonio Lazaro Torres-Rodriguez would plead guilty to two counts each of first-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor in exchange for a 25-year jail sentence, suspended after 15 years, Assistant State’s Attorney Michelle Manning said. The offer would also include 25 years of probation, she said during a hearing Monday in state Superior Court in Stamford. Brittany Paz, Torres-Rodriguez’s lawyer, said at that hearing that her client is also facing mandatory deportation if he accepts the offer.
STAMFORD — A 42-year-old Norwalk man accused of sexually assaulting two girls under the age of 12 pleaded guilty to the crimes despite a moment of hesitation before accepting responsibility in court on Tuesday. Antonio Lazaro Torres-Rodriguez appeared before Judge John Blawie in a remote hearing in state Superior Court in Stamford and pleaded guilty to two counts each of first-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor as a part of a plea agreement with the state stemming from long-running sexual abuse of his girlfriend’s two daughters. But before he entered his pleas, the deal nearly fell apart as Torres-Rodriguez appeared hesitant to admit his guilt in the case.
